I JOHN 1:5-10

November 22, 2020 There are many things that divide us as a nation, but one is quite foundational – it is the very definition of truth. Indeed, what is right, and what is wrong. Both major political parties claim to be on the side of right – so who to believe? And the truth is, […]

I JOHN 1:1-4

November 15, 2020 Let me begin by apologizing to those who get a little irritated when Christmas music is played before Thanksgiving. Yes, I know it’s only the middle of November, but Christmas will be here before you know it – in 40 days. And if that statement brings anxiety, maybe we’re not doing it […]

I JOHN INTRO

November 8, 2020 I don’t know that I, personally, have lived through a more troubling time. Now, I’m sure there are some here who can remember such past events as the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean and Vietnam Wars, sandwiched in between the Cuban Missile Crisis, Watergate. I’m just randomly naming events of […]

II PETER 3:14-18

November 1, 2020 I love this time of year – end of October, first of November. Why, you ask – Octoberfest, the changing of the leaves, the fullness of Fall, cooler weather, time-change Sunday, college football? Well, while I love those things, it’s not actually them. This time of the year gives me an annual […]

II PETER 3:11-13

II PETER 3:8-10

October 11, 2020 There are a couple of extremes we should avoid concerning the second coming of Jesus Christ.  First is to try to figure it all out and start setting dates.  I suppose within that extreme is a healthy focus on, even longing for the return of Christ.  But it is also forgetting that Jesus said no […]

II PETER 3:1-7

October 4, 2020 As early as the first century, the fish became a symbol for the Christian faith.  You see, the Greek word for fish is ichthus, and those Greek letters correspond to this acrostic, Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior.  Now, you remember in the early days of our faith, Christianity was severely persecuted.  It was first seen as […]

II PETER 2:10-22

September 13, 2020 Just last week, The Gospel Coalition shared the results of a recent survey of Americans, particularly evangelicals.  The 2020 Ligonier Ministries’ State of Theology survey is a biennial survey conducted by LifeWay Research that “takes the theological temperature of the United States and reveals what Americans believe about God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, sin, worship, […]
